Correlation between Interface Microstructure and Bond Strength of Al6061/Al6061 HIP-Bonded Plates for Fuel Cladding Application

The effects of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) processing parameters on microstructure and bond strength of Al6061/Al6061 plate interfaces were systemically investigated at the micro- and nanoscale. The HIP bonding of the two aluminum plates was performed at four temperatures: 350°C, 400°C, 450°C, and 560°C. The results reveal the formation of micron scaled Mg 2 Si precipitate and uniform nano scaled Mg 2 Al 2 O 5 oxide at the interface. The formation of Mg 2 Al 2 O 5 is closely associated with the fast bulk diffusion of Mg from the Al matrix to the amorphous Al 2 O 3 /Al interface and subsequent reaction between Mg and Al 2 O 3 . Finally, the highest and lowest bond strengths were observed in samples HIP bonded at 450°C and 350°C, respectively.
